[Boost-users] [Units] Require help troubleshooting a template error with linear_algebra.hpp

Subject: [Boost-users] [Units] Require help troubleshooting a template error with linear_algebra.hpp
From: Stephen Torri (stephen.torri_at_[hidden])
Date: 2011-12-09 11:30:52

Below is a dump of the build output from compiling the stand alone
example. In order to understand what I am doing I am trying to setup a
boost unit system where length is in kilometers, angle is in degrees
and time is in minutes. I would like to have the ability to enter
automatically convert angles from degrees to radians. In addition I am
attemping to make the angle types I use to be dimensionless.

Regards,
Stephen
